No you should not

Casadena · October 16

Dear Prudence,

I am a mildly conservative Christian woman, and my adult daughter is a left-leaning atheist. Recently, it’s come to my attention that she is dating a woman. I’ve never really had the issue with the gays that other Christians have, but I feel unsettled that my daughter would hide this from me. I would obviously support her if they were to, say, get married, but I feel afraid that it will negatively affect her life and she’ll feel lonely without children. On her social media accounts, she talks about how she’s bisexual, and I don’t see why she would choose to be with a woman and lonely when she could still be with a man. Should I bring this up to her?

STFU. Listen to the fact that your daughter hid this from you. Do some soul searching about who you are and what your relationship with your daughter is.

It is 2025, and I am sick and tired of people being so ignorant. It's by choice at this point.

Yikes. I was annotating a passage with students last period and they could've just highlighted like four reasons why your daughter hid this from you LW. The second to last sentence wondering why she'd choose a woman if she's also attracted to men is especially cringe. I wish I could date a woman, men suck. If you want her in your life, cut your judginess aalll the way down.

The fact that you referred to the LGBTQ+ community as "the gays" told me all I needed to know. STFU and stop pretending like you aren't just a total bigot.

You aren't nearly as open minded as you think you are.

"I don’t see why she would choose to be with a woman and lonely when she could still be with a man."

Have you seen the choices in single men lately?

For real. And I'm sick and tired of hearing it called "the male loneliness epidemic." Oh, you mean treating women like objects, refusing to identify and manage your feelings and acting in general like a twatwaffle means you've isolated yourself? But somehow it's the fault of women or the "woke left?" Give me a break. Even right leaning women are noping away from men at this point.

I cringed reading this. It reminds me of the phrase "but I can't be racist because I have a black friend."

You can't see why she kept this from you? Really?
